Streamflow is experiencing long-term changes as the freshwater demands are increasing worldwide due to increase in population and changing climate (Oki and Kanae, 2006). However, it is difficult to predict the changes in future streamflows as it involves a physical process that depends upon more...
As an archaeologist, I think this is a pity, in the sense that these stone circles are fascinating enough as they are – they embody so much that we need to understand about the scientific knowledge, advanced construction technology, and social organisation of the builders. The belief systems ...
enters the river. In the second system (Fig. 3.1.41b), water flows over the riverbank into the RMW. The distribution of the water within the RMW, the flow velocity and the depth are factors that largely determine the conditions for sedimentation before water flows back to the river ...
GSI, such as full infiltration rain gardens, should be installed there as well, to intercept flows off of impervious covers, to directly infiltrate some of the flow and to spread flows over that “natural filter”. This would be particularly so for any rainwater cistern overflows, which would...
A well-regarded science writer finds water flows through everything Chinese, including history, religion, and fine arts. An engaging overview, and a good place to start in understanding the centrality of water management in China. Elvin, Mark.The Retreat of the Elephants: An Environmental History...
Water recharge portion is defined as recharge contribution of dry-season rainwater to different water bodies on year scale. It is calculated by two end-member model52. On a year scale, rainwaters from dry and rainy seasons are identified as two unique original water resources to surface and su...
While 3.98% of the LUB has experienced a loss in seasonal water resources, 4.12% has been newly added as seasonal water resources, as illustrated in Fig. 8. Figure 8 shows that there has been no change in the conversion of seasonal to permanent water resources over the study area from ...
In the end, though, surface water runoff management is ultimately as straight forward as it is unforgiving: we must always be sure that water flows away from the items it can damage. Need Professional Help From a Local Contractor? Visit Our “Find a Contractor” Page ...
Therefore, a weir structure is established as a barrier to keep a constant water level for our model. The water flows freely over the weir top. Behind the weir, the water level decreases before it flows out of the model. This method is described e.g., in Bayon-Barrachina and Lopez-...
Over the past decade, there has been a gradual transition in the approach that major mining companies adopt for addressing water issues, whereby the concept of ‘water stewardship’ has gradually gained recognition as a desirable operating philosophy[36,37]. A ‘stewardship’ approach can be distin...
